Certain modes of thought attempt to systemize and pin down this existence into intelligible categories; still, the individual always evades clarification. The person, a paradox of being and becoming, connotes something that is both constant and fluid. A natural analogy exists between all humans.

Egyptian Love Poetry
The timeline of history is not a static one. As time progresses, most all aspects of life constantly advance. That being said, some things remain practically unchanged for several millennia.

A Rose for Emily
In my opinion, William Faulkner displays a perfect example of the old saying, “what goes around comes around” in the short story A Rose For Emily.

I believe it is strongly because of her father and the way he treated her while she was growing
